You guys do know that's a virus right? Isass.exe is a Windows component, lsass.exe is the virus. ("I" and "l" look the same in MS Sans Serif. lazy font crew...)It's a bugger to remove. Not even safe mode is safe!

Nice man. This is actually helpful. On my computer, there's some processes in the backround running, eating up resources, that won't close without this popping up. With your trick, I can fix it! Can I mother your babies? I'll get a sex change if I need to.

This is caused by that 'Sasser worm' that was spread a few years ago. Tons of people, even with high protection, got it. It would basically cause this shutdown timer to start often. I'm assuming he just downloaded the worm, entered safe-mode, and owned it.

It's not a bug, its a feate. Oh, and ahdemarco: Last I checked, an OS couldn't purposely burn out a hardware. Unless something went really, REALLY wrong. Like, a virus or a coke spilt due to XP frustrations (or a magnet, for the matter, but a coke would probably be more available at your avarage computer room) due to lack of computer knowladge.
